We were both young when I first ate you.
I close my eyes and the chilli heat starts:
I'm sitting there at a shack table in rotten air.

See the rice, see the party, the chilli sauce.

See you make your way to my mouth

And say, "Hello, "

Little did I know...

That you were rice, you were hot and spicy,

And my daddy said, "Stay away from infusion"

And I was crying on the shack staircase

Begging you, "Please more rice"

And I said...

Rice, take me somewhere we can be alone.

I'll be eating; all that's left to do is cook.

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".

So I sneak out to the paddy field to see you.

We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew

So close your eyes... escape this field for a little while.

Oh, oh.

'Cause you were rice - I was a hungry person,

And my daddy said, "Stay away from pizza shack"

But you were everything to me,

I was begging you, "Please don't go"

And I said...

Rice, take me somewhere we can be alone.

I'll be cooking; all that's left to do is season.

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.

It's a love story, rice, just say, "Yes".

Rice, save me, they're trying to tell me what to eat.

This love is difficult but it's real.

Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this eggy mess.

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".

Oh, oh, oh.

I got tired of waiting

Wondering if you were ever cook.

My faith in you was fading

When I met you at the university superstore.

And I said...

Rice, save me, I've been feeling so alone.

I keep waiting for you but you never cook.

Is this in my head? I don't know what to think.

He knelt to the ground and pulled out an egg and said...

Fry me, you'll never have to be alone.

I love you, and that's all I really know.

I talked to your dad - go pick out a nice bowl

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

'Cause we were both young when I first ate you
